        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After reading this book what I feel that this book is best for GS paper 4. In some other books which are in market, they are too complex specially thinkers and decision-making part (quite fancy part for UPSC) & at the same time language of these books are vague ...But when I studied this book what I feel that this is the complete package.
